Eclipse can't find my Dev Board

Post by drsmithon »

The development board that I want to work with is not on the same subnet as I am. I can ping the device, and I can http to the web page on the device. How do I get the Eclipse NBFind and NBConfig to recognize m MOD5270 board

Hi,

The find utility must use a udp broadcast to locate the devices. Broadcasts are not forwarded by routers, otherwise networks would be flooded with traffic, so the only way a find utility will work is on a lan.

First I profess my ignorance because I never do this but here's some general troubleshooting advice. I think it's better to work with the Windows native AutoUpdate app first, and see if you can get that to work. (just to avoid Java and Eclipse complications). Even so (given what rnixon said) you're going to just type in the actual IP address of the board. If you can get AutoUpdate to work then you can work on getting it to work inside Eclipse.

I don't know that much about using different subnets because I've never been forced into it but I wouldn't think it has anything to do with the NNDK. I suspect you need to configure the routers/gateways/switches whatever that are connecting your two subnets. You'll also have to make sure all firewalls pass through the traffic.
